"THEM ATHLETICS" LOOK GOOD
TO BERTON BRALEY
By Berton Braley.
(Written for the United Press.)
Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 9. The
spotlight shifts though the time be
short from the field of war to the
field of sport, and the fond fans lin
ger and watch and wait for the
swinging wide of the' Shibe Park
gate; for the cheers and jeers when
the Braves attack the war-scarred
soldiers of Connie Mack.
The Braves have won from a tail
end place to the victors' spoils in the
pennant race; they're a gallant bunch
as the world may see but "them
Athletics" look good to me!
These Brave infielders have batter
ed down the Giant fortress of Gotham
town, and dogged and dauntless have
forced their way to the final fight in
the baseball fray. And flushed with
triumph and vim and zest, they face,
unfearful, the final test They are
young and daring and full of fight
and they know no qualms at the
Mackmen's might, and they MAY
rush onward to victoree, but "them
Athletics" look good to me!
'Twas a long hard drill that the
Braves went through, but they never
have fought with "the wrecking
crew," and the battles they've known
in the past will seem like pleasant
bits of a drowsy dream when Collins,
Baker and Wally Schang and Plank
and Bender and all that gang come
stalking forth on the field once
more, while the grandstand shakes
and the bleachers roar.
I'm keeping a strict neutrality, but
"them Athletics" look good to me!

"What is this-leathery stuff?"
"That is a filet of sole, sir," replied
the waiter.
"Take it away," said the guest,
after attacking it with his fork, "and
see if you can't, get me a nice, tender
piece of the upper, with the buttons
removed." Harper's Magazine.
